Seraphim Posted November 13, 2003 Report Share Posted November 13, 2003 Ok i know i might be sounding dumb here, but is the superhero showdown. Reality Storm when worlds collide actually coming out as a book? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Posted November 13, 2003 Report Share Posted November 13, 2003 It will be a supplement ( I believe published by Gaurdians of Order), with stats for both systems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seraphim Posted November 13, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2003 Do you know when this will be made and it will contain hero stats?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermit Posted November 13, 2003 Report Share Posted November 13, 2003 There was a similar thread in the Company Question forum, and this was there Originally posted by Polaris In a posting on the GoO Blog (their "update the fans" portion of the webpage... kinda like the weekly update from Steve here) dated September 24, GoO announced that Reality Storm is being passed over to lay out. I am not sure how long it takes to get from lay out to production, but just wanted to pass on that it is making some progress... Polaris Don't know how much progress has been made since that post.

Seraphim Posted November 13, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2003 This seems like a great idea for a roleplay supplement, as i did not set my superhero campaign in the champions universe. But I would like my characters to be able to meet some of the characters and fight like this reality storm. i have an old group of champions back during fuzion champions, I have remade them for 5th ed and I am going to run an adventure with them in the new champs setting therefore i can get the old champs group and this new group together for a fight against dr. destroyer and the main antagonist of my world D'Oragen.

Monolith Posted November 13, 2003 Report Share Posted November 13, 2003 Originally posted by Hermit Don't know how much progress has been made since that post. Not much, from what was said on the GoO message boards. Apparently they are waiting for some artwork to come in before progressing any further. My best guess now would be late Jan sometime.

Seraphim Posted November 13, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2003 If there is no reality storm for a while. Maybe people out there can help me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seraphim Posted November 13, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2003 If there is no reality storm for a while. Maybe people out there can help me. How can i get some champions characters into my universe, and vice versa, without being too cliched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Posted November 13, 2003 Report Share Posted November 13, 2003 Without cliche? Bah! Embrace the cliche, my friend. These are comic book adventures. The classics are In pursuing a villain through a portal the characters of one reality find themselves in the reality of the other. A high level game is being played between two superpowers, pitting the champions of both universes against one another. An enormous reality show is being filmed, engineered by individuals who want to see what happens when two groups of heroes stop being polite and start getting real. The "visiting" set of heroes are, in this reality, a fiction! They're in comic books and movies and don't really exist, until some master criminal (or even a kid with an uncontrolled power) manages to pull them right off the pages and into our reality.

Seraphim Posted November 13, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2003 Maybe i should have made this the thread then could have seen what everyone thought and chosen the one that i thought best suited the flavour of the campaign. Thanx blue Must remember embrace the cliche. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyBoy Posted November 18, 2003 Report Share Posted November 18, 2003 Another Reality Storm question: Will it have conversions for SAS to HERO like the old V&V supplements? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Watts Posted November 18, 2003 Report Share Posted November 18, 2003 The book includes a complete translation between TriStat and Hero. Also writeups of sixteen characters, eight from each setting, done as examples in the other company's system. dw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd also like to compare the good Dr. to the SAS characters in thier native system. heh.... that and see how close my "re-imagining" of Alice in HERO is to the "official" version.

Darren Watts Posted November 19, 2003 Report Share Posted November 19, 2003 Umm, lessee. The five Champions, plus Dr. Destroyer and his two main flunkies, Gigaton and Rakshasa. Then the five heroes of the Guard, Kreuzritter, Alice and Iron Duke. The examples in the text I wrote go a long way towards figuring out Kinetik and Prometheus respectively, too, but they don't get character sheets. dw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyBoy Posted November 19, 2003 Report Share Posted November 19, 2003 Re: HERO stats for the guard Will they be written up as 350 point starting heroes, or will they be straight conversions with fluctuating point totals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Watts Posted November 19, 2003 Report Share Posted November 19, 2003 They're straight conversions. The Guard themselves vary widely in point value. The conversion itself takes into account the "beginning character" levels of both systems, so more or less a character built on 125 points in TriStat will come out around 350 in Hero. As a rule of thumb, TriStat points convert at between 2 and 3 points in Hero. I don't have the numbers right here, but as I recall, Sentinel came out around 900 points, Red Phoenix around 650, and the other three were in the low 400s. All of the Champions translated between 110 and 170-something in TriStat. However, any conversion between systems based on different assumptions will have a few discrepancies. For example, foci-based characters will be cheaper in Hero because our system puts a larger value discount on the weaknesses of focus-based powers. On the other hand, skills are pretty cheap compared to superpowers in TriStat, so heavily-skill-based characters like detectives, martial artists and scientists are a bit more expensive in Hero. There's no END in regular TriStat, either, though there is an option to add the effect, so reduced END costs can wog up the numbers. dw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
